T.J.Smith and Nephew Limited is a long-established UK registered company, incorporated in 1907, that forms part of the Smith+Nephew group. Companies House records its nature of business as manufacture of other chemical products. The wider Smith+Nephew group describes itself as "a global portfolio medical technology company focused on the repair, regeneration and replacement of soft and hard tissue", developing products across wound care, sports medicine, orthopaedic reconstruction and ear, nose and throat treatment. This entity represents the historic UK corporate name behind that group's origins, with its own registered activity classified under chemical product manufacture, rather than the group's broader medical technology operations, which are conducted across the wider Smith+Nephew organisation.
